Embeding maps on web pages

Roeyf · 2010-11-03T15:35:26.000Z

Hello all,

I’m new here

Probably this has been digested a million times, but could you guys kindly point me to some info where I can learn how to embed the maps on a web page?

I also would like to get coordinates after the users searches for a direction.

Cheers,
Roey

Hi and welcome

Please see here:

and in particular here (the most simple way, I’ve done this myself):
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLayers

Your second question, I didn’t quite understand.

Hi,

thanks!
What I meant in the second part is for example- a user types in an address, and I’m wondering if there is an API that I can retrieve the longitude\latitude coordinates ?

Thanks!
Roey

You can use Nominatim:

However, I believe that very few exact addresses can be found in Israel now, it will usually give you only the street.
